It’s hard to believe, but we have been caretakers of our little patch for a whole six months.
In what was probably a first for many of us, we attended a party at the Patch to celebrate the event and ‘brought a plate’ with us – ideally made with some of our home-grown produce.
Amazing what a few candles in jars can do…

The word from the guys at the Little Veggie Patch was – Competition Time! Decorate your patch, measure your zucchinis, find a heap of caterpillars (the latter was, in fairness, more for the good of the plants than really for fun).
So we set to work, utilising newly required stakes for our sole Black Russian tomato plant as a makeshift ‘tree’. Finding a santa/spinning wheel/scare away birds feature, and in general giving our patch a bit of a ‘pimp’.
We were rather pleased with the result, it wasn’t hard to find our plot glinting in the sunlight. Take a look at some of our competition…
Pimp our Patch!
Some of our stylish competition (and a very creative use of a tomato)

One of the things I had to consider when signing up was how to ensure the plants were always watered. I don’t live in the city, nor work there, so the idea of heading into town every couple of days (or every single day when Melbourne throws those plus-40-degree days at us) was not something I wanted to do.
So may I introduce to you my watering brigade –

Thanks guys, hopefully I can repay you with loads of yummy home-grown veggies!
